Fishing for Stars by Bryce Courtenay

3.0

An intriguing story about a man and the two incredibly strong, and incredibly different, women in his life. The two women really spring to life on the pages, but the narrator, Nick, remains somewhat one-dimensional. I did learn a lot about Japanese culture, which was fascinating. However, with the exception of April Fool's Day, none of Courtenay's books have ever matched The Power of One, for me. He seems to have trouble with endings, and I felt that this book was about 100 pages longer than it needed to be.
